2024 Indiana Youth Tobacco Survey

  • The Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) is a school-based survey administered every other year (fall semester of the even years, such as 2022, 2024, etc.) that measures cigarette, e-cigarette, cigar, pipe, smokeless tobacco, hookah, nicotine pouch, Delta THC, and cannabis use among Indiana’s youth in grades 6–12.

  • The survey also measures the impact of media and advertising, enforcement of youth tobacco access laws, school curriculum, and exposure to secondhand smoke.

  • The high school and middle school survey questions may be viewed here:

  • The survey sample includes 60 high schools and 60 middle schools (grades 6-12), and between two to six randomly selected classrooms per school will be surveyed.

  • The Indiana YTS is an electronic survey with skip logic, which minimizes the burden on schools and provides an efficient option for survey administration.
